Derek Smith

I am a native of St. Petersburg, Florida and moved to Gainesville after high school to attend the University of Florida. I graduated from UF with my bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering in 2010. After briefly working in the industry, I was afforded the opportunity to spend some time overseas and was fortunate enough to have visited over 25 countries. I have been employed with Meldon Law since June of 2022 and enjoy working for a firm with such a client-focused approach to the cases it handles. My responsibilities at the firm include maintaining all of the hardware/software that the firm uses as well as analyzing and reporting on the firm’s data. Outside of work, I volunteer as a youth soccer coach and enjoy spending time with family and friends.

What Our Clients
Say About Us

I never had a moment’s problem with Jeffrey Meldon and Associates. I appreciated their kindness and communication with the returning of my calls in a timely manner and always pleasant. They were never snappy with me. I would like to say to others that this law office is reliable and will take care of your case in a timely manner. A former client of theirs referred me to them the day of my accident when a dump truck hit me, and I would just like to say, that I am glad they did and that I met Mr. Meldon and his associates. They are all very kind and warm-hearted.
